King Arthur's Gold - Terraria, minecraft spin off

Neil79 · 31 May 2011 at 01:23

A mix of RTS elements, Minecraft and that old SNES classic King Arthur's World, King Arthur's Gold is a somewhat intriguing little offering that doesn't remind me at all of a recently released game except with PvP elements. Granted, there's absolutely nothing wrong about the resemblance. It seems that there are three classes to choose from: the knight, the builder and the archer.

All three roles have fairly obvious functions. The knight's a melee combatant but he has the ability to point his shield upwards in order to turn himself into a conventional step ladder. The builder creates buildings and conducts mining expeditions. As for the archer, well, he just shoots things.

The objective of the game is simple: have more gold than your opponents. Obviously, this involves some petty theft and mining but it seems like you can also loot bodies for it.

Unsurprisingly, Neil beat me to posting anything about this

Was just linked to this and have to say that it looks really rocking. I'm going to get a server set up (assuming you can do)

When I tried to connect , it couldn't authenticate, but that may have resolved itself .

Edit- It hasn't for me.

I noticed the dedi server download doesn't seem to have the correct IP for the master server. Trying to work out how to resolve that now.

Whats the player count on this?

FrenchTart · 1 Jun 2011 at 17:39

Correction: The master server seems to be down. I imagine it'd still work with direct connect but it's quite annoying.

Server now seems to be working. Can anyone connect to linktart.co.uk ?

I'll be arranging some proper games of this on Fri evening, but the server already seems quite busy.

Some tight folk have paid peanuts for the game, suggetsed price for the game is $10 which seems a fair price for an indie game.

No argument there.

I picked this up last night but didn't have a chance to fire it up.

Up for some games if people get a server going.

Looks interesting, will take a look tonight!

FrenchTart · 25 Jul 2013 at 09:37

I'm at a wedding this weekend but I'll try to get a server sorted (or next week at the latest).

Pestilence · 25 Jul 2013 at 09:37

This does look interesting. Anybody had a good go on it yet and can give an opinion?

Hencore · 5 Aug 2013 at 15:51

Any of you lot played this yet then?

I've only had a quick 10 minute shot online and just kept dieing for no apparent reason. Does look fun though, especially if we could organise a group.
